Cannabis is going to be legal in Canada next year, and I want to open up some kind of establishment.
So I want to know from those of you who live in legal rec areas:
What is your favourite dispensary and why? (if you have cafes where you are the same for them)
Are those establishments hurt by persisting black market activity?
How many strains are readily available?
What kinds of activities get paired with lounges/cafes?

I don't have a single favorite store and I do frequent several different ones but off the top of my head I definitely hit up the Denver Kush Club, LivWell and Strainwise. These stores usually have good deals and selections.

Are those establishments hurt by persisting black market activity?

Not currently, no.

How many strains are readily available?

Anywhere from 5 to 50 per store.

What kinds of activities get paired with lounges/cafes?

Basic social ones. Sometimes there are contests like how fast you can smoke a gram.
